3 ʻOku ʻeke ʻe he kakaí: “Kapau ʻoku tuku ange ʻe ha tangata hono uaifí pea mavahe ʻa e fefiné meiate ia ʻo ne hoko ko e uaifi ʻo ha tangata kehe, ʻe toe foki koā ʻa e tangatá kiate ia?”
ʻIkai kuo mātuʻaki ʻuliʻi ʻa e fonua ko iá?+
“Kuó ke faifeʻauaki mo e ngaahi kaumeʻa tokolahi,+
Pea ko eni te ke toe foki mai koā kiate au?” Ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová.
2 “Hanga hake ho matá ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi foʻi māʻolunga kuo tekeleí.
Ko fē kuo teʻeki ke tohotohoʻi koe aí?
Naʻá ke tangutu ʻi he ngaahi veʻehalá ʻo tatali kiate kinautolu,
ʻO hangē ha tokotaha hikihiki holo* ʻi he toafá.
ʻOkú ke hanganaki ʻuliʻi ʻa e fonuá
ʻAki hoʻo feʻauakí mo hoʻo tōʻonga fulikivanú.+
3 Ko ia ʻoku taʻofi ai ʻa e ʻuhá,+
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuha ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failaú.
4 Ka ko eni ʻokú ke ui mai kiate au,
‘ʻA ʻeku Tamai, ko koe ʻa hoku kaumeʻa ʻi heʻeku kei talavoú!+
5 ʻE hanganaki ʻita ai pē ha taha ʻo taʻengata,
Pe tukulotoʻi maʻu pē ʻa e ʻitá?’
Ko e meʻa eni ʻokú ke leaʻakí,
Ka ʻokú ke hanganaki fai pē ʻa e kovi kotoa ʻokú ke malava ke faí.”+
6 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tuʻi Siosaiá,+ naʻe folofola mai ai ʻa Sihova kiate au: “‘Kuó ke sio ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe ʻIsileli taʻefaitōnungá? Kuó ne ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē pea ki he lalo ʻakau tupu ʻāfaʻafa kotoa pē ke faifeʻauaki.+ 7 Naʻa mo e hili ʻene fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko ení, naʻá ku hanganaki tala ange kiate ia ke ne foki mai kiate au,+ ka naʻe ʻikai te ne foki mai; pea naʻe hanganaki mamata ʻa Siuta ki hono tokoua kākaá.+ 8 ʻI heʻeku sio ki aí, naʻá ku tuku ange ʻa ʻIsileli taʻefaitōnunga fakataha mo ha tohi vete+ koeʻuhi ko ʻene tonó.+ Ka ko hono tokoua kākā ko Siutá naʻe ʻikai te ne ilifia; naʻá ne ʻalu atu foki mo ia ʻo faifeʻauaki.+ 9 Naʻá ne fakamaʻamaʻaʻi ʻa ʻene feʻauakí, pea naʻá ne hanganaki ʻuliʻi ʻa e fonuá ʻo ne fai ʻa e tono ʻaki ʻa e lotu ki he ngaahi maká mo e ʻakaú.+ 10 Neongo ʻa e meʻa kotoa ko ení, naʻe ʻikai ke foki mai ʻa hono tokoua kākā ko Siutá kiate au ʻaki hono lotó kotoa, ko e fakangalingali pē,’ ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová.”
11 Naʻe folofola mai leva ʻa Sihova kiate au: “Kuo fakahāhā ʻe ʻIsileli taʻefaitōnunga ʻokú ne māʻoniʻoni ange ʻi Siuta kākā.+ 12 ʻAlu ʻo talaki ʻa e ngaahi leá ni ki he tokelaú:+
“‘“Foki mai, ʻe ʻIsileli fakafetau,” ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová.’+ ‘“ʻE ʻikai te u hanga fakaʻita hifo* kiate kimoutolu,+ he ʻoku ou mateaki,” ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová.’ ‘“ʻE ʻikai te u ʻita ai pē ʻo taʻengata. 13 Ko e meʻá pē ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻa hoʻo hiá, he kuó ke angatuʻu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ke hanganaki mohe* mo e kau solá* ʻi he lalo ʻakau tupu ʻāfaʻafa kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki hoku leʻó,” ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová.’”
14 “Foki mai, ʻa kimoutolu ngaahi foha fakafetau,” ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová. “He kuó u hoko ko homou pule moʻoni;* pea te u ʻave kimoutolu, ko e toko taha mei ha kolo mo e toko ua mei ha fāmili, pea te u ʻomi kimoutolu ki Saione.+ 15 Pea te u ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu ʻa e kau tauhi-sipi ʻoku fehoanaki mo hoku lotó,+ pea te nau fafanga kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e ʻilo mo e vavanga fakaefakakaukau. 16 Te mou hoko ʻo tokolahi mo tupu fakautuutu ʻi he fonuá ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko iá,” ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová.+ “ʻE ʻikai te nau toe pehē, ‘Ko e ʻaʻake ʻo e fuakava ʻa Sihová!’ ʻE ʻikai ake ia ʻi honau lotó, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau manatua ia pe ʻofa ki ai, pea ʻe ʻikai ke toe ngaohi ia. 17 ʻI he taimi ko iá te nau ui ʻa Selusalema ko e taloni ʻo Sihova;+ pea ʻe fakatahatahaʻi mai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá kotoa ki he huafa ʻo Sihová ki Selusalema,+ pea ʻe ʻikai te nau kei loto-fefeka ʻo muimui ki honau loto fulikivanú.”
18 “ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko iá te nau ō fakataha, ko e fale ʻo Siutá ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí,+ pea te nau omi fakataha mei he fonua ʻo e tokelaú ki he fonua naʻá ku foaki ko ha tofiʻa+ ki hoʻomou fanga kuí. 19 Pea naʻá ku fakakaukau, ‘Naʻá ku tuku koe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi fohá pea foaki atu kiate koe ʻa e fonua lelei, ʻa e tofiʻa fakaʻofoʻofa taha ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá!’*+ Naʻá ku toe fakakaukau te mou ui mai kiate au, ‘ʻA ʻeku Tamai,’ pea ʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki mei he muimui kiate aú. 20 ‘Ko e moʻoni hangē ko e liʻaki ʻe ha uaifi kākā ʻa hono husepānití,* ʻoku pehē ʻa kimoutolu, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, kuo mou faikākā kiate au,’+ ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová.”
21 ʻOku ongona ha leʻo mei he ngaahi foʻi māʻolunga tekeleí,
Ko e tangi mo e kōlenga ʻa e kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí,
He kuo nau mioʻi ʻa honau ʻalungá;
Kuo ngalo ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtuá.+
22 “Foki mai, ʻa kimoutolu ngaahi foha fakafetau.
Te u fakamoʻui homou loto fakafetaú.”+
“Ko kimautolu eni! Kuo mau haʻu kiate koe,
He ko koe, ʻe Sihova, ʻa homau ʻOtuá.+
23 Ko e moʻoni naʻa mau kākaaʻi kimautolu ʻi heʻemau longoaʻatuʻu ʻi he ngaahi foʻi māʻolungá mo e ngaahi moʻungá.+
Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻia Sihova ko homau ʻOtuá ʻa e fakamoʻui ʻo ʻIsilelí.+
24 Ka kuo keina ʻe he meʻa fakamaá* ʻa e fakaongosia ʻa ʻemau fanga kuí talu mei heʻemau kei talavou,+
ʻA ʻenau fanga sipí mo ʻenau fanga pulú,
ʻA honau ngaahi fohá mo honau ngaahi ʻofefiné.
25 Tuku ke mau tākoto ʻi heʻemau ongoʻi maá,
Pea tuku ke ʻufiʻufi kimautolu ʻe heʻemau ngalivalé,
He kuo mau faiangahala kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtuá,+
ʻA kimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamaí talu mei heʻemau kei talavoú ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni,+
Pea kuo ʻikai te mau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtuá.”
